The goal is to try to maximize the calorie densityoffood (calories per ounce) that your daughter eats, especially since her appetite may be significantly decreased by heroin use.
We found, for example, in research from the Rand Institute that the densityof fast food outlets in areas was not necessarily correlated with how fat children were in those areas.
Double your vegetable intake and reduce fat -- Both of these changes will significantly decrease the calorie densityof your diet without decreasing the volume offood that you consume.
The researchers twigged that this phenomenon could be used to measure density and, as they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, they set about this task by erecting a stack of two off-the-shelf neodymium magnets separated by a vertical vial of paramagnetic fluid.
Theories about why this is happening range from higher levels of obesity, higher densityof calories in processed foods, and physical inactivity, to chemicals in food and water.
